PhD position – Self-Supervised Representation Learning and Low-Rank Tensor Models

The SiMul team (https://cran-simul.github.io) at the University of Lorraine is offering a fully funded PhD position on the theoretical foundations of self-supervised learning, focusing on representation stability, interpretability, and efficiency. Despite their success, self-supervised approaches and foundation models still lack a thorough theoretical understanding. This project aims to bridge that gap by exploring connections between AI models and low-rank…
